From Citizen Kane:
Charles Foster Kane: “You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years.”Now here’s David Ignatius hyperventilating about global warming in the WashPost:
Every week brings new evidence that global climate change is real and that it's advancing more rapidly than scientists had expected. This past week brought a report in Science that the Antarctic is losing as much as 36 cubic miles of ice a year.From Nova:
Antarctica has some seven million cubic miles of ice, representing some 90 percent of the world's total.So we have some time.
"You know, Mr. Viking, at that rate we'll have to close the Earth in... 194,000 years.”
